Legal Question in Immigration Law in Ohio

I was denied citizenship 2 times because I claimed to be a citizen of the United States while I was in college in 1993. I was asked during my naturalization interview and I told them that I did. What I explained was that I claimed I was born in the United States on my admission form into Junior College. This earned me reduced tution. I actually had lived in Florida for a year before I started school. I was also asked if I got any financial help from the State of Florida or Federal government. I did not get any financial help from anybody. I paid my way through school.

I would like to know what I can possibly do since I have been denied twice already. What are my options, if any? I now live in Ohio with my husband and 3 children.

Depending on when you were last denied citizenship; you have the right to file an administrative appeal (typically within 33 days of the Nat denial). Otherwise I would refile your N400 but have a good legal argument to rebut the citizenship claim.

Feel free to call for a free consultation.

If you are within the 33 days of the denial, you have the right to an N-336 appeal. There exists a valid, lucid counterargument regarding USCIS's position and you should strongly consider raising it.
